This is one of the biggest problems also here in Germany,
where many people, far too many people have to travel long
ways to their job, sometimes 1 1/2 to 2 hours one way. And
job security ? All is fluctuating. If you get a good paid
job move to the place, buying a house around there, you
dont know if the company gets bancrupt after four or five
years you have to move again. So you travel. You can do it
by the high speed train in one hour. This is not so
expensive if you buy a flat rate train ticket, often
supported financially by the company. But business life here
has converted to the American style, American contracts,
etc.

Sorry, Kendall, we pay between 6.30 6.50 $ (US) per
gallon DIESEL, by far more than you pay.
True, but do you have to drive 120 miles a day round trip to
get to your job?
Many people here in the US have to out of necessity.
A small, old house in Arlington, VA would cost me $1.2
Million (USD).
My (rather large) home 55 miles south of Arlington cost me
$360,000.
Despite the fact that I work in Arlington, I certainly can't
afford to live there (even though the pay is quite high).
Driving that much per day is the only way to afford to work.
It sure would be great if we could all lose our dependencies
on petroleum, eh?
(Just some food for thought.)
Cheers!
Jeremy
